Just before you arrived, a group of Northmen stole into the village and began setting fire to the houses there.

There is a priest by the name of Lanric who ran into the throng in order to free villagers from their burning homes - look, you can see him over yonder - but we've had our hands full here, and I've not yet been able to lend him aid.

The rites and administrations he performs are very important, but even more vital are the lives he is saving. You've done all you can here for the moment. Go speak with Lanric, and see what assistance you may be able to provide him.
